This book was written for the Dutch Children's Book Week in October 2005. It was the gift book that children got when they spent 10 euros on a book (and for that reason WAT RIJMT ER OP PUREE? was issued in 390.000 copies!). It's the fast-paced, upbeat story of the twins Cal and Gus, who form a rapband. One day there is a new substitute teacher in their class. She is far more strict than they are used to. How to solve the problems they get with her? Cal and Gus try it with music. The book includes the lyrics of their raps.

- This book is the first part of a trilogy and was succeeded by
WHERE CAN WE GET A STATUE? (2007)
and
WHO WANTS TO MARRY US? (2008).
